ICM provides a number of out-of-the-box reports that have been strategically articulated to cater specific business needs. They provide an insight to different entities, states and progress of your Agreements, Clauses and Templates so that you can take necessary actions. They enable you make informed decisions by analyzing processes, cycle times, deviations, risks (expiry, renewal, actions pending, and so on.) and SLA’s at each level of an Agreement. Using the right filters to generate vital Reports provides clarity, allows you to correlate functionalities, and improve response time. Such information is valuable to the organization and has a positive impact on your business. It helps you identify future direction, improve performance, mitigate risk and increase revenue.
In ICM, Reports have been grouped based on their usage into Admin, Legal and Compliance, and Workflow for ease-of-use. You can view only those Reports that you are authorized to. You can either view all Reports together or you have the option to filter the reports based on the grouping, using the drop-down or the tabs. You can access individual Reports by clicking them and providing filters for each of them based on your specific requirement.
Reports are now enhanced to be displayed as per the language selected in the Locale Settings in the User Preferences. These reports are driven on the basis of user profile Language settings.
You also have the option to export the Reports to Excel, CSV or PDF formats.
In this section, let us understand ICM Reports in detail.
Reports are mainly divided into 2 groups:
1. Default Reports: ICM provides a number of out-of-the-box Reports that have been strategically designed to cater to specific business needs. Although these Reports are default, the user will only be able to view the Reports that they are authorized to. Based on their usage, these Reports are displayed on the Agreement Details page or the Report tile.
2. Custom Reports: Customized Reports may be deployed in ICM based on the requirements of the customer by editing default reports or by creating entirely new custom reports or by deploying reports provided by the customer. These reports are customized for a customer based on their requirement.
Here is the list and a brief description of Reports in ICM.
Reports that are available on different tabs of the Reports tile are further categorized into three groups:
Reports that are Agreement specific are available on the Agreement Details page.
To change the localization settings of a report:
Reports that are Agreement specific are available on the left hand side navigation of the Agreement Details page. These Reports provide additional details of the agreement in a comprehensive manner so that the authorized user can get information in a single view without navigating between tabs. These columns are sortable by the user.
The following reports are accessible from the Agreement Details page:
Note: An error message is displayed if no results are generated or in case an incorrect filter is applied. User should be able to export the report into Excel, CSV or PDF.
The Clause Deviations Report is Agreement specific and can be accessed from the Reports tab on the Agreement/Amendment Details page. It provides a text comparison of the standard and the deviated clause and highlights the difference between them for the specific Agreement from which it was accessed. It provides visibility into the Clauses that are deviated, by whom, the date and time, in what state, the approver and the approval date and time. It helps a legal person detect clauses that frequently get deviated and make appropriate changes in the library to further reduce cycle times during contract negotiations.
Based on the applied filter, the result includes any of the following columns with a hyperlink to the actual Agreement:
The Report displays the Clauses in the alphabetical order of the Clause name and is followed by the descending order of deviated date and time.
This Report is Agreement specific and provides details of all the Associations of an Agreement entity-wise.This Report can be accessed from the Details page and provides a detailed view of all the related entities to the Agreement, such as Commitments, Clauses, History, and so on. It provides a complete view of the Agreement without the user having to navigate to multiple tabs for the same information. It is extremely convenient when the Agreement along with associations are required to be sent for offline reviews and audits. It helps to assess the accuracy of Associations. This helps in performing compliance checks to correct the outliers can be made (where associations are not made).
It is also available on the Contract Request Details page and the Associations Details page, with all details as will be displayed on the Agreement Details page. The History section displays actions taken on an Agreement such as when it was created, published, modified, copied, etc.
The History is displayed in reverse chronological order, so the latest action is displayed first.
The Approval History section displays all the events in which a decision related to approval or rejection has been taken by the user such as when it was sent for approval, when it was approved or rejected, the reason for the rejection, user who the approval is pending with, and so on. The following columns are displayed: Action Taken, Action Taken By User, Action Date, Reason, User Role, Notes and Pending with User. The Approval History Date Format is changed to Mm/dd/yyyy hh:mm AM/PM format.
For sections that are not applicable for Contract Requests and Association, the No Records present message is displayed.
The Report is auto-filtered for the current Agreement/Amendment. You can add multi-select filters for each type of association (Amendments, Associated Documents, Clauses, Commitments, History, Notes, Team).
Based on the applied filter, the result displays different tables for each of the following:
Note: The Report displays each Association type on a separate page. When exported, the resulting spreadsheet/PDF displays each association type in a new tab or new page.
The Attributes Information Report captures the values of the attributes and all the edits that have been made to this over the lifecycle of the contract to date. It is an Agreement specific report that can be accessed from the Details page as well.
The Report is auto-filtered for the current Agreement/Amendment. You can filter the report based on the latest value of the attribute, all versions or only the changed attributes. You can select the order in which the information needs to be displayed with latest changes first or latest changed last. You can then select all the attributes or generate the report based on the properties you would like to view.
Based on the combination of the applied filters, this report will provide the list of attributes, their values and highlights the difference in red.
As a result, the following columns display:
The filter allows the user to look for only the latest value or historical values as well. Each edit made by the user and the date the changes were made will be captured in separate columns named Edit 1, Edit 2, and so on. The columns are sort by attribute groups and then by the attribute name - this will be based on configuration from Agreement Details page.
Note: No column sort options to view latest version values first or the first version values first.
